Unterstützen wir Khacem El Ghazaali

I have just met Khacem El Ghaz­a­ali on Face­book. He is a young man from Moroc­co, who had to flee due to being per­se­cut­ed for his blog­ging activ­i­ties. He asked for asy­lum in Switzer­land, where he was tak­en pro­vi­sion­al­ly as of now. He cur­rent­ly lives some­where in the ger­man speak­ing part of Switzer­land. A news­pa­per report about him can be found here (in ger­man). So, I just found his Face­book pro­file, and then this report about his arrival in the Swiss asy­lum sys­tem: “Switzer­land WAKE UP!”

In anoth­er arti­cle, he talks about his stance about the burqa: “Switzer­land: here are my views on Burqa”.

The man needs all of our sup­port. Let’s talk about him! Let’s dis­cuss his statements!
